Eisenstein in Guanajuato among ten productions to receive support from the Screen Flanders economic fund.

Ten productions have received funding from the Screen Flanders economic fund, including Peter Greenaway’s feature Eisenstein in Guanajuato.

Finnish actor Elmer Bäck is attached to star as the pioneering Russian filmmaker in Greenaway’s film about the short-lived but passionate love affair between Eisenstein and his guide in Mexico.

The funding body gave out €2.2m ($3m) to the projects which will spend part of their budget in the Flanders region.

Amounts per project vary between € 90,000 ($123,000) and €400,000 ($546,680) per project.
